Life continues here in B-townIII (I:Berlin, II:Boston, III:Bremen). Mostly I just wanted to share that it's cherry season in Germany. Cherries everywhere. At farmstands, in giant scoops at the grocery store, hanging from ears, smeared on chins.

Also, I don't know if you all pay attention to the international community, but I hope everyone will be watching the world cup final in Berlin this Sunday. Germany's loss on the fourth of july was almost a bit of a relief to me (shh, don't tell). The fans do remind me of good old crazy boston sports fans in all the good ways but in all the bad ways too. So much german patriotism is almost unheard of, and although I want to be an educated, objective, well-integrated, understanding visitor, excess waving of german flags and chanting and singing in german is a tiny bit unnerving. At any rate now we can sit back and host what has quickly turned into a European cup in the final match with France and Italy duking it out on the German field.

I heard today that Mercury is going into retrograde. I remember the last time that happened, gulp. Also Kenneth Lay died, just before he was going to get sent to 'jail' for the rest of his life (probably not but still). How bizarre. And they've finally started marketing a way to harvest cow farts says the new york times. Methane from feed lots turned to energy! Yes! Is something finally going to happen at Guantanamo? Or will we just forget about it again for awhile?

What the hell is Christianity? Who is MY God? Why does it all seem so silly to me to give God some sort of identity?

Do I want to go to grad school? when? where? with what money?

What's on your mind?
